 Ph.D. position in algal biotechnology PhD position - 3 years (m/f/d) Algal biotechnology Leipzig University, Faculty of Life Sciences, Institute of Biology, Plant Physiology group of Prof. Severin Sasso, Leipzig, Germany Start: 1 July 2024 Deadline: 7 May 2024 The Plant Physiology group at the Institute of Biology, Leipzig University, offers a Ph.D. position (Promotionsstelle) starting from 1 July 2024, subject to formal funding approval. Activities and responsibilities The unicellular alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii secretes substantial amounts of glycolate under photorespiratory conditions (Taubert et al., Plant Biotechnol. J. 17, 1538-1546 (2019)). As glycolate is an important industrial chemical, its production in a photosynthetic microorganism opens up the long-term potential to establish a biotechnological industry based on renewable resources. The aim of a new third-party-funded project is to improve glycolate secretion. For this purpose, we want to use physical mutagenesis (e.

Prof. George Papenfuss      The South African-born phycologist, Prof. George Papenfuss spent most of his career as a professor at the University of California, Berkeley. Papenfuss was a student at the University of Cape Town before moving to the United States in 1926. He has worked as a door-to-door salesman, which greatly improved his communication in English, he later enrolled at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, for the agricultural program. Papenfuss began to specialize in phycology at this time and completed a doctoral thesis on the life history of the brown algae Ectocarpus, in 1933.       The same year he married fellow graduate student 'Emma Johnstone' and spent 1934-1935 studying marine algae at the universities of Lund and Uppsala in Sweden, with phycologist Harald Kylin and Nils Svedelius. In Sweden, he became especially interested in South African phycology and in 1935 returned to Cape Town, his home country to study brown algae life histories. Papenfuss
